Selection
Tool
|
 This
is the selection tool, which you use to isolate or move a page element.
It resembles a standard black mouse arrow when active.

Direct
Selection Tool
|
 This
is the direct selection tool. There is an important distinction
between the white direct selection tool and the black arrow select tool.
The direct selection tool lets you control items within a selection, such
as an image within a frame, the angle of the sides of a polygon, and so
on. Do not use the direct selection tool to merely select or move items,
or strange results will occur.

Type
Tool
|
 This
is the type tool. If you want to type or modify text, you must use the
text tool to create a space to begin typing or to highlight existing text
with the mouse. The mouse becomes the "I-beam" ( )element
when the type tool is active.
